In the Union Club Hotel s charcoal-paneled lobby, framed sketches inspired by topological forms celebrate Purdue s engineering and math programs
Stained-glass windows, regal arches, and swaths of patinaed wood lend the Purdue Memorial Union, the heart of student life at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, a stunning “Gothic Revival feel,” says Gina Deary, co-owner of Simeone Deary Design Group (SDDG). When the Chicago firm was tasked with the $35 million-dollar revival of the Union Club Hotel, built as an addition to the union building in 1929, Deary knew it would be impossible to “ever recreate that gorgeous old palette.” Instead, she and her team interpreted it through a contemporary lens.
